Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …
Vacancy movie
What a messed up movie. The NRA should seriously show this to far left people who want to get as close to repealing the Second Amendment as humanly possible as it’s situations like this where having a gun would be really good.
This isn’t a political piece by any …
Wedding Date movie
Wedding Date is one of my favorite romantic movie. I was able to buy a copy of it when I was at a local DVD store and the cover got my eyes so I decided to buy it. I like the movie so much because it a good film …

This movie is an absolute fantastic one! It has a very simple plot which made me think it was too boring and way too ordinary, but when my friends and family urged me to watch this I finally did and was so awed with Liam Neeson here! The movie …

The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012 film)
We all have an iron memory of Disney’s Snow White, the animated film that conceived the enduring image of a wide-eyed princess garbed in puffed sleeves and beribboned hair. I know Snow White head to heels because I used to sketch her often in my notebooks as a …
Troops movie
A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …
Tangled : A Hairy Tale
Disney movies are always a dose of freshness and Tangled goes much beyond that. It is one of the best animated movies from Disney so far. Though the story of the movie has the well known fairy tale “Rapunzel” as its baseline, yet it provides a captivating story line …

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010 Film)
In 2010, a film starring Michael Cera came out that looked to be something extremely interesting and a movie that he will be well known for. It was called “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”. Sad to say, that this film did not really hold the wow factor that I …
My Little Eye
The horror film “My Little Eye” was a film which I thought had a lot of potential to be a very good horror film if it was written better, was filmed better, had better actors and an even better director. Nevertheless, I think the film failed since it was …
Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …
The Third Man movie

“300″ is a 2007 movie based on Frank Miller’s awesome graphic novel showcasing the Battle of Thermopylae between the Spartans and the massive army of King Xerxes. It is ultra violent, ultra stylized and ultra intense. It is also ultra awesome.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, Movie
By all accounts, ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ should have marked the end of the live action ‘Transformers’ franchise. That movie was outright terrible. Critics hated, fans hated it, it still stands as one of the worst movies you will ever have the displeasure of sitting through. …
Thor Movie (2011)
This movie was much talked-about and I wasn’t really into these type of movies since they’re much more of a guy’s type of movie but since there wasn’t anything else showing in the cinema except for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Beastly, of course I opted to watch …

Falling Down movie
Michael Douglas leads an impressive cast in Joel Schumacher’s “Falling Down”, an interesting tale told out over the course of one day, as an average man embarks on a rampage as he tries to simply “get home”.
It’s an interesting idea, and an incredibly simple one, but don’t let …

The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
American Gun
I was a bit surprised that I did not hear about this movie when it was being released in theatres. However, I realised later that it was probably because I was a bit busy at the time. I thought that this movie had some fairly good acting in it …
Tribes movie
From 1970, the movie Tribes is not a favorite. It took me three times to actually get through the movie, though I will say that once my frame of mind was preferred for the type of movie it was going to be, I got through it fairly easily.
Jan …

Moulin Rouge (2001)

House of Wax
Starring: Elisha Cuthbert (Carly), Paris Hilton (Paige), Chad Michael Murray (Nick), Jared Padalecki (Wade) Brian Van Holt (Bo/Vincent)

The story started with …

Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Warrior 2011 Film
